Here's a breakdown from the invoice (maybe it helps when shopping around):
Parts (new grille) $72.69
Body Labor 13.6 hrs @ 40.00/hr $544.00
Paint Labor 10.1 hrs @ 40.00/hr $404.00
Paint supplies 10.1 hrs @ 22.00/hr $222.20
Tax $80.79
Total $1323.68
The hourly rates are probably a lot higher in CA but I think you should't be looking at more hours than what's listed above; my friend is VERY detailed and sometimes small jobs become expensive because he wants to do everything perfectly. He actually does a lot of museum/concourse cars.

Looks really good. Im thinking about doing the nose on my car too. I want to swap the bumper out but can't make up my mind on the euro turbo front or some type of ruf look alike. mine is a cab i'm not sure if the ruf bumper is too over the top.

WOW sweet!!!! Great looking car.....Nice work. Here in NY that work would cost $2,500- $3,000 ... And that's a deal.. I just got a price to paint my rockers, and rear bumperetts, and the lower part of the rear bumper and it was $700.00. I'm going for the Ruf look..
